Mahorka (Bulgaria) is one of the pioneers on the netlabel scene and one of the very few that stayed around, kept going through the years of the boom of netlabels and after that, through the rise of different platforms that allow the direct publishing and presenting of releases, with which few of the sea of netlabels made it – the ones that have become sort of institutions in their respective fields and only a few new ones (netlabels) surfaced.
Starting initially with presenting experimental electronic and electroacoustic music, developing big love for ambient music, making things really bigger with the “Music for elevators” compilation series, presenting different artists’, from throughout the musical spectrum, approaches to ambient music, the netlabel has never actually developed any genre/style boundaries/limits.. in fact – exactly the opposite. –
Netlabel Day
The holidays may be over, but the gifts keep coming! One such gift is a new label mix given to us by Ivo, head honcho of one the oldest (if not thee oldest) netlabels around – Mahorka.
While its predecessor wasn’t tied to a specific year, Volume 2 compiles music from the releases that came out in 2019. Music-wise, however, not much have changed – expect to find an incredibly wide range of sounds and moods within, from dark ambience to drone to piano pieces. Dive in!
